Why Timely Maintenance Matters
Hot tubs require regular care to prevent issues like cloudy water, unpleasant oudors, and bacterial growth. During winter, when usage might increase due to holiday gatherings, these problems can worsen if the water chemistry is off or the filters are clogged. Getting your filters and chemicals early means you can:
Avoid delays caused by holiday shipping or store closures
Keep water balanced and safe for all users
Extend the life of your hot tub components
Starting maintenance early also gives you time to troubleshoot any unexpected problems before guests arrive.
Choosing the Right Filters for Your Jacuzzi
Filters trap dirt, oils, and debris, keeping your hot tub water clean. Over time, they become clogged and less effective. Here’s what to consider when selecting filters:
Compatibility: Use filters designed specifically for your Jacuzzi model to ensure proper fit and performance.
Type of filter: Most Jacuzzi hot tubs use pleated cartridge filters. Some models may support reusable or disposable options.
Filter rating: Check the micron rating to understand how fine the filtration is. A lower micron rating means finer filtration but may require more frequent cleaning.
Replacing your filters every 12 to 24 months is a good rule of thumb, but inspect them monthly during heavy use. Clean reusable filters regularly with a filter cleaner solution to maintain efficiency.

Essential Jacuzzi Hot Tub Chemical to Stock Up On
Balancing water chemistry is key to a safe and enjoyable hot tub experience. The main chemicals you need include:
Sanitizers: Chlorine or bromine keeps bacteria and algae under control. Bromine is often preferred for hot tubs because it works well at higher temperatures and is less irritating to skin and eyes.
pH balancers: Maintaining pH between 7.2 and 7.8 prevents corrosion and scaling. Use pH increasers or decreasers as needed.
Alkalinity increaser: Total alkalinity should stay between 80 and 120 ppm to stabilize pH levels.
Shock treatments: Regular shocking with non-chlorine or chlorine shock removes organic contaminants and refreshes sanitizer levels.
Calcium hardness increaser: Prevents water from becoming too soft, which can damage hot tub surfaces and equipment.

Steps to Prepare Your Hot Tub Before Christmas
Drain and clean the tub
Remove old water and clean the shell with a non-abrasive cleaner. This removes build up and prepares the surface for fresh water.
Inspect and replace filters
Check filters for tears or excessive wear. Replace if necessary, or clean thoroughly if reusable.
Refill with fresh water
Fill the tub with clean water and let it reach operating temperature.
Balance the water chemistry
Test pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels using test strips or a digital tester. Adjust chemicals to recommended ranges.
Run the filtration system
Let the pump and filter run for several hours to circulate chemicals and clear the water.
Final check before use
Test water again and adjust if needed. Your hot tub is now ready for holiday enjoyment.
Tips for Maintaining Your Hot Tub During the Holidays
Test water chemistry at least twice a week, especially if many people use the tub.
Clean filters every 1-2 weeks during heavy use.
Cover the hot tub when not in use to keep debris out and maintain temperature.
Avoid using lotions or oils before entering the tub to reduce filter clogging.
Keep extra chemicals and filters on hand to avoid running out during the busy season.
